*Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats the condition of foreign bodies in the eye that cannot be expelled.
Take one grain of silkworm sand (Can Sha), swallow it, and the foreign body will be expelled immediately.

*Qianjin Yi Fang* (Supplement to Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats the condition of eyes obscured by foreign bodies with blurred vision.
Pound sheep tendons until they are coarse and split them. Process the tendon as described for tendon preparation, place it in the mouth, and chew thoroughly. Remove the softened tendon and place it on the eyelid near the pupil. Gently press the eyelid with your hand. If there is a sensation of a foreign body, after fourteen repetitions of pressing, it will be expelled. Observe whether the foreign body comes out with the tendon; stop if it does, and repeat if it does not. This method should preferably be performed at dawn before sunrise, continuing until recovery. After expulsion, instill good honey into the corners of the eyes; carp bile is also effective. If eye pain occurs frequently, use this method every other day.

*Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Source Book of Diseases and Syndromes) Syndrome of Pediatric Deafness: Pediatric deafness is caused by wind pathogen invading the head. The Hand-Taiyang meridian enters the ear. When wind resides in the head, the wind pathogen follows the Qi mechanism, invades the meridians, and contends with healthy Qi. Accumulation of wind pathogen leads to deafness.

*Yingtong Baojian* (Precious Mirror for Infants and Children) Song on Pediatric Deafness, Tinnitus, and Ear Pain:
Wind entering the ear damages hearing; Qi stagnation often causes deafness. Tinnitus results from the interaction of wind and Qi. Pain indicates wind pathogen at Naohu (GV19). Kidney heat steaming upward causes ear disorders; over time, pain intensifies and thick pus discharges. Absence of thick pus rules out this condition; it is merely due to water entering the ear.

*Qianjin Fang* treats deafness caused by impacted cerumen (earwax) that cannot be removed.
